Fug or Fab: Lupita Nyong’o in Elie Saab

It’s tough to tell from the photo — here, it almost looks gold to me — but this is actually a light lime color.

She looks very pretty in it, but it does also basically work like a greenhouse for her legs. Whether you like it probably comes down to how much sheer you’re willing to accept, and in what context. For me, while the workmanship here is undoubtedly creative and expert, I’d have preferred that the whole thing be made to look like a bed of flowers, rather than slowly dying blossoms that are dropping their petals. I can barely keep my own petals alive, friend. I’m a dish of pot pourri up in here.
